Geoid Data and Thermal Structure of the Oceanic Lithosphere
A long-standing question is whether old oceanic lithosphere continues cooling as the boundary layer of a halfspace or approaches thermal equilibrium, as modeled by a finite thickness plate. Although the latter is the most direct inference from seafloor depths and heat flow, other explanations have been proposed. We investigate this issue using published results for the derivative of the oceanic...
متن کاملThe lithosphere under stress
I discuss thermal, rheological and compositional definitions of the Earth’s lithosphere and describe the data that can be brought to bear in refining these definitions. Models of the behaviour of the lithosphere are useful in describing such diverse effects as continental basin subsidence, the flexural response to imposed loads such as seamounts or sediment accumulations, the partial melting of...
متن کاملWestern Europe.
W hat would motivate british neo-nazi skinheads to invade a public library and beat up a reading group of retired pakistani immigrants? and what would motivate half a million british citizens to vote for extreme right-wing parties whose rhetoric fuels such behavior? trilling traces the rise of the radical right in the united kingdom and condemns establishment figures for not taking it more seri...
متن کاملCohabitation in Western Europe.
This article examines for a range of European countries: the extent to which men and women are not forming partnerships and how this has changed over time; the number of partnerships experienced; type of first partnership in terms of whether it commences with marriage or cohabitation and, if the latter, whether it converts into marriage; as well as the duration of different types of cohabiting ...
متن کاملBending stress and dissipation in subducted lithosphere
[1] Oceanic lithosphere undergoes permanent deformation during subduction once the stresses exceed the elastic limit. Departures from elastic behavior occur by brittle failure in the shallow lithosphere and by a combination of lowand high-temperature creep at greater depths. We combine laboratory-based rheological models with estimates of slab shape from earthquake hypocenters to quantify the b...
